Weak hair and skin

Goiter in general can cause a variety of symptoms, from weight gain to fatigue. Both of these conditions can cause dry hair, hair loss, or thinning hair on the scalp. So what is the relationship between the thyroid gland and hair loss? When hormone production is disrupted, especially the hormones T3 and T4, it affects other processes in the body, including hair growth at the root. Hair falls out and may not be replaced by new growth, resulting in hair loss, thinning hair on the scalp, and other areas such as the eyebrows.

The patient's hair appears to be thinner. Patients lose between 50 and 100 hairs on their heads per day, normal hair growth is disrupted, hairs are not replenished, and occasional hair loss may occur. A sign of goiter that can cause many people to feel markedly uncomfortable, is that when the skin does not have enough moisture, it can quickly become dry and flaky, leading to an increased risk of inflammation of the skin. Likewise, your nails can also become brittle and break more easily in case you have thyroid dysfunction.
